Payment Onto Death By: Noah Eaton 8/16/02  "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." The Gospel of Matthew Matt 7:12, Luke 6:31 I see fear in the hearts of our children Watch them fall to their knees Yearning to have the eyes to see Through the lungs of Empathy A reason for each coming season... Through all these lines and circles there's something collateral Alms to benefit the blind A burning light that shan't subside That my elders convinced me to find As I place a bet onto the pleasure principle And I reveal all my scars Displaying my sins and tears at His knees Which with that tourniquet stops the bleeding Preaching forgiveness, preaching penitence my soul feasts Nurturing my fragile wandering spirit like a scarf Now I share my findings exclusively Teaching to love openly with no boundaries or restrictions It's another day, another dollar so resolute the infirmities Teaching to live and live well as an applied mortgage To forgive and respect as an interest Is living proof, and proof of living So treat others as you would like to be treated For the more love you give, the more you will collect Wear your heart on your sleeve, wear Truth like an intaglio or bracelet Give unto others and you will be free and free of debt Live to love, live to smile, live to sing is true payment onto death Follow His word, and with promise you'll be greeted... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (08-17-2002 03:05 AM).] |

Dear Mistletoe. It is nice to read your poetry, but I can't see this yellow against the blue. I'll try again tomorrow when my eyes are not so tired. Love, Joyce |

Ah, I see I am among the blessed, Noah, and that you have changed the color of your font since Joyce came in to read. my favorite line: wear Truth like an intaglio or bracelet Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
